download pike

This is the official Pike download page, from which you can download the latest
stable version of Pike and fresh snapshots of the development version as well as
older versions of Pike.

Pike is free software, and is released under the GNU General Public License,
GPL, GNU Lesser General Public License, LGPL
and Mozilla Public License, MPL. As such, you can modify, extend, use and
distribute the source code in mostly any way you like.

Some vendors, such as Debian, Gentoo and Foresight, also provide their own packages of Pike.

Source distributions

These are the latest source distributions of Pike:

Bleeding-edge source package (7.8.?)
This always contains the latest development version of Pike
from git, automatically
generated when something is committed. This means you get
all the latest fixes - and probably also the latest bugs.

Getting Pike sources via git

To get the latest version of the Pike source code, refer to the
git access instructions. Note that you
must have a Pike installed on your system already to build Pike right out
of git, since parts of Pike are automatically generated (we prefer to keep
only source files in the repository). The recommended bootstrapping method is to start
by installing a source package before trying to build from git; the source
packages are prepared with the autogenerated parts already generated.
